Game Center - gameNetwork not working with group achievements

Hi all,

I am experimenting with using group leaderboards and achievements for the first time on apple’s game center. I have been using the gameNetwork corona plugin successfully with many apps using the normal leaderboard and achievements in the past on many apps.

The only difference I see in itunes connect is that it forces you to prepend “grp.” to all your identifiers. I setup group leaderboards and group achievements in itunes connect for my app. The group leaderboards are working great with the corona plugin. However, I cannot get the achievements to work. Whenever I try to unlock an achievement via gameNetwork.request it returns nil. The gameNetwork.show(“achievements”) pulls up the leaderboards screen and not the achievements screen.

Does anyone have any experience using group achievements with the corona gameNetwork plugin?

Thanks in advance.

Alright so after some googling I found the answer.

  1. On the iPhone settings log out from everything: game center, app store, etc.

  2. Uninstall your app.

  3. Restart iPhone

  4. Create a new sandbox test user.

  5. Install your app.

  6. Login to gamecenter with the new sandbox test user.

Achievements are now showing up and working properly!

Hope this helps someone.
